Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I click on a mine?

The game ends immediately and all mines are revealed. You'll need to start a new game to try again.

Do I have to use flags to win?

No, flagging mines is optional. You win by revealing all safe squares, but flags help you keep track of identified mines.

What does the number at the top mean?

This is the mine counter. It starts with the total number of mines and decreases each time you place a flag.

What should I do when I'm stuck?

Look for patterns in the numbers, count remaining mines in isolated areas, and consider using the double-click feature on completed numbers.

Is there a time limit?

While there's no time limit to complete the game, a timer keeps track of how long you take. Try to improve your time as you get better!

What's the best first move?

Start in a corner or along an edge where there are fewer adjacent squares. The first click is always safe, so use this to your advantage.
